Police tell Buddhism office to consider Dhammachayo case in Sangha reforms

Chakthip said such controversies should not be allowed to occur, while other organisations had already started reforms.
Chakthip added that he had not delayed the operation for police to enter Dhammakaya Temple to arrest the fugitive monk, who is charged with money laundering and receiving stolen assets linked to the Klongchan Credit Union Cooperative embezzlement case, as well as separate land-encroachment charges.
He said police had not raided the temple because they were working on related cases, adding that the arrest of such a prominent suspect had to be done “by the book”, considering all factors to prevent events from getting out of control.
